Aproximación a los estudios globales: actores y estrategias
En este tomo de la edición conmemorativa del XXX aniversario del Departamento de Estudios Regionales – INESER se presenta una parte de los trabajos de investigación que se hacen al interior del Centro de Estudios Globales (CEG). Abordan cinco temáticas: la multiplicidad de actores (individuales, colectivos e institucionales) que toman parte en los procesos de globalización comercial y cómo éstos afectan a sus situaciones políticas, sociales y culturales; las relaciones multicéntricas de poder derivadas de la formación de grandes bloques económico-comerciales desde un enfoque macrosocial y geopolítico; el impacto de los procesos globales en las regulaciones impuestas por los Estados nacionales a la industria electrónica transnacional; y el panorama nacional de las empresas con actividades globales y cómo éstas han afectado la autonomía económica local. Los capítulos contenidos en este volumen invitan a un diálogo con el lector desde muy diversas visiones y teniendo en cuenta las contradicciones y ambigüedades que surgen al investigar problemáticas tan complejas y multidimensionales como la globalización.
Rezagos de la economía de Jalisco en la apertura económica (1980-2015)
Rezagos de la economía de Jalisco en la apertura económica (1980-2015) es el tercer volumen de la edición conmemorativa del XXX aniversario del Departamento de Estudios Regionales – INESER. Los investigadores del Centro de Estudios de las Instituciones y las Organizaciones (CIO) ponen a consideración de los lectores cinco estudios que abordan, desde distintas perspectivas, el análisis de los factores considerados más relevantes al respecto del rezago de Jalisco con respecto a otras entidades federativas de México durante las últimas tres décadas. No obstante que existan otras interpretaciones, estamos convencidos de que los factores institucionales y organizacionales siempre estarán en el centro del debate. Los trabajos que conforman esta publicación son resultado de una serie de seminarios que se llevaron a cabo en el Departamento de Estudios Regionales (INESER).

International Handbook of Educational Change

The Great Divide
Why has inequality increased in the Western world - and what can we do about it? In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter this growing problem. With his characteristic blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice - the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities. In these essays, articles and reflections, Stiglitz fully exposes the inequality - from its dimensions and its causes to its consequences for the world - that is afflicting America and other Western countries in thrall to neoliberalism. From Reagan-era policies to the Great R...
Toward a Comparative Institutional Analysis
A conceptual and analytical framework for understanding economic institutions and institutional change. Markets are one of the most salient institutions produced by humans, and economists have traditionally analyzed the workings of the market mechanism. Recently, however, economists and others have begun to appreciate the many institution-related events and phenomena that have a significant impact on economic performance. Examples include the demise of the communist states, the emergence of Silicon Valley and e-commerce, the European currency unification, and the East Asian financial crises. In this book Masahiko Aoki uses modern game theory to develop a conceptual and analytical framework for understanding issues related to economic institutions. The wide-ranging discussion considers how institutions evolve, why their overall arrangements are robust and diverse across economies, and why they do or do not change in response to environmental factors such as technological progress, global market integration, and demographic change.

The Adventures of a Cello
In 1720, Antonio Stradivari crafted an exquisite work of art—a cello known as the Piatti. Over the next three centuries of its life, the Piatti cello left its birthplace of Cremona, Italy, and resided in Spain, Ireland, England, Italy, Germany, and the United States. The Piatti filled sacred spaces, such as the Santa Cueva de Cádiz, with its incomparable voice. It also spent time in more profane places, including New York City bars, where it served as a guarantee for unpaid liquor tabs. The Piatti narrowly escaped Nazi Germany in 1935 and was once even left lying in the street all night. In 1978, the Piatti became the musical soul mate of world-renowned cellist Carlos Prieto, with whom it...
